She might have an impaction, what is your substrate? Id recommend feeding in a seperate cage, like a cricket keeper or something like that, with papertowel as a substrate to prevent swallowing any dirt/substrate. Also, give her a variety, they like that, Grasshoppers, Crickets, and Mealworms, two of each every time you feed her will give her a feeling that she has a large variety of food , in large supply. Also, they all have different, but healthy, proteins in them, which keep them healthy and happy. As for the poop. feeed her something else and give it a day or two. If no poop, you should take her in to a vet ASAP. If you cant, and she still isnt pooping, then I dont know how to help you. Ive never had this problem so I dont know much about impactions and fixing them.
Also, you said you live in BC. Where in BC? I live in Nanaimo on Vancouver Island

Since the battery on my comp is dieing, I’ll keep it short. Warm bath, crickets loaded with fruit, and fresh water. Avoid mealies for their tough shells.

i live in surrey B.C. vancouver... and this sucks...i was planning to breed mealies as a hobbie and i bought 100,,,but then i tried feeding her in a separate cage and she ate some.but i dont see any poop and i dont think thats a good sign...ima feed crickets now and see if she eats em...if she doesn’t then i think she might have impaction or something cause of the hard shells..and i just wanna know 2 things...is it impaction? or is it just taking long for her to digest it...and will she die if say she did have impaction? ...

if you lasten to some of the advice it wont more than likely (sorry if that came off rude i ddint mean it to) just give it a warm bath once a day and up the temps in the cage and it should be fine
and it also might help if we knew what the substrate is
